Salsa is an easy recipe that can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. But, it can also be messed up due to unbalanced quantity of ingredients. If you use too much of a certain ingredient, you can make the taste unbalanced. So, it is important to know how much ingredients you need to prep so that you can come up with a balanced and fool proof recipe.
Whipping Up a Great Mexican Dip
Cooking should be fun. And when it comes to salsa, you can truly enjoy making your DIY dip. It is easy to make, easy to heat up and easy to serve.
Here are the ingredients and the instructions on how to whip up this tasty Mexican dip that is perfect for almost all kinds of chips and other kinds of foods.
- Cut Up Your Ingredients
You will need to chop, mince or dice the following ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ white onion, diced
1 tbsp Jalapeno, finely chopped
4 large plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tbsp lime juice
Be sure to remove the seeds of the Jalapeno and the tomatoes before cutting them up. You can use a teaspoon to remove the seeds so that you can get rid of them more easily.
A tablespoon of Jalapeno will likely be about half of it but it is better to measure it so that you won’t put too much on your recipe. But if you like spicy stuff, you can add some more, according to your preference. Just be sure that it won’t make your sauce too tangy. You can add them later if you want so that even kids can enjoy this delightful dip.
Put the ingredients aside then grab a bowl and a big spoon.
- Mix the Ingredients
Put all the ingredients on your bowl and sprinkle with some salt to taste. You can put it in the fridge before serving to serve it cold.
